having trouble seeing the print?
Yesterday, we saw the Hebrew root ס.ת.ר (s.t.r) in action, in the word for to conceal - לְהַסְתִּיר
. We saw that the Talmud connects the root ס.ת.ר with the name of the biblical heroine of the Purim story, אֶסְתֵּר - Esther.
Another application of ס.ת.ר is in the expression for hideout or place or refuge - מִסְתּוֹר.
מסתור also conveniently serves as the basis for the Hebrew word for mysterious - מִסְתּוֹרִיin the masculine and מִסְתּוֹרִית in the feminine.
For example:
As for a mystery, the word is מִסְתּוֹרִין, or its synonym, תַּעֲלוּמָה.
Note that the root ס.ת.ר also bears the meaning contradiction. The word itself for contradiction is סְתִירָה.
